It was stupid to even reach the batteries and the bulkhead was so tall and the motors so deep in the bilge it was nearly impossible to hang over it to even check the oil. And there was no room to crawl down around or in front of the motors, some of the worst access I’ve seen in a boat.
How could you possibly pull a motor?
